I am so happy that we are all pulling together. For the good of the greater number. YES! Loads of love to all and if I forget a name it is because I am getting senior moments. OMG. Hugs all round.

Good morning everyone :)
What a great day it will be. Dont you just love mornings when you go outside and sun is up. And gras is still wet from night. Ahh - perfect moment. Im from country and for me best thing is summer morning, and the smell of just cut gras. As my hubby is from city and allergic… he can never understand how the smell of gras takes me back to childhood and warm memory's.
As a little girl I woke up 4 am and run outside wearing dress and barefoot. Sun was already up but it was still mist outside. And I just loved to run in wet meadow until my dress was wet and Im so so tired. Then I would go back home, happy and go back to bed. My mom was never home at that time so she didnt know I was outside, but always surprised that my dress was wet and dirty. Lol.

Today I got up little later and was thinking to put my chefs jackets to wash. And then I had to see how my roses are ( love that we have roses in back garden). Our garden is totally out of hands as landlord dont want to get us lawnmower and so on. But I try to keep my ( my , lol ) roses free from climbers ( dont know how to call em, but hope you understand me )
One thing lead to another and I notice I have more roses then I was thinking. Did clean part of garden from overgrown grass and noticed we have few potatoes growing in garden and already ready to pick up. Got them up and found around 10 small potatoes :) had to boil em for breakfast ofc :) and as I already was in mood I got all the rhubarb and make a jam from it. Its so good for cheesecakes.
So what you need is
100 gr rhubarb jam ( or 150 g rhubarb and 100 g sugar and boil until you get thick brown jam )
150 g mascarpone
100 g double cream
75 g digestive
50 g non salted butter
50 g honey

Blend butter honey and digestive together and put on bottom of springform cake tin. Leave it in fridge for half and hour.
Whip double cream and add mascarpone. Then add rhubarb jam. Take cake tin out of fridge and add mascarpone and rhubarb on top of your digestive cake bottom. Cover with cling film and leave overnight. Serve with fresh strawberries next day. Will stay fresh in fridge for a week. Tastes bloody well too :)

Now thats not my made cake but thats how it would look like. As cake dont need zelatine it will be soft and thats the reason why rhubarb jam must be boiled until its thick.

As for my food diary Day 6 breakfast
Coffee(1 syn), fresh juice (1 syn),
Oven omelet with veggies, potato and cottage cheese. Fresh salad and beans in tomato souse.

I was filled in on the days events! 2hrs for eating (he ran through the menu, omg it was pure hell lol) let alone all the drinking, toasts. THEN there is a brunch at 11:15am the following pigging day for everyone!!! By the time the conversation was over i was like, I'm definitely eating that day! Lol what will i do, sitting there like a right 'plum' and everyone asking why I'm not eating. :eek:

Evening my friends ,
How are you today ? My day was "interesting" - This morning when we were walking in city and crossing the road , I almost got hit by a car. Driver did not slow down and I had to jump/run away from car. It was close but when I got to other side my ankle hurt so bad. Dont know what I did but I manage to hurt it. Was thinking it will be better by the time I go to work , but no - it didnt and after 2 hours I called my boss and said, I cant stay today and wont be working over weekend. Tomorrow will go to emergency and will see how bad or good it is. Its not bad - I know it but when I got back home I could see little swelling on my ankle , so better safe then sorry
Sad thing is - I only need one more week to get my platinum body magic award and if I wont be able to work out 5 times next week .. oh well

For lunch I had
Rice and chilli con carne with salad - all syn free
For dessert I had blueberries with fat free natural yogurt and kelloggs bar ( he )
Syn free

Thats all for today =) see you all later, keep smiling =)
 
Food looks delish as always!!! OH NOOO Can't believe that driver I hope your ankle is better! Hopefully some rest will make it feel better, You must let us know in the morning! <3 Sending you love and hugs xx

Hope everyone is ok? :) <3
 
Rita, a million thanks for your message which I read out to Oh with a few tears too. I always seem to cry a lot at the moment. Any excuse and I blub! So sorry to hear of your ankle with major hopes this will soon be better. Hez seems to have a little respite on her job. Good news indeed. Our little Lucie and Binky love to you. If I have forgotten anyone it's not because I have forgotten you. Bit stressed until scan is done. Then I will chill and stop this comfort eating. Must admit hot buttered toast is soooo good! Hugs all round. Bev x :grouphugg:

Good morning everyone. First thing first - Thank you all for support. I saw a doc today and luck for me it should be only soft tissue thingy - if it wont be better by monday , I will have to go for x-ray but Im sure its not so bad. Will be at home for week tho. Got ssp form from doc, now I need to understand what that is :)
Even manage to get to my sw meeting in last minute for weight in. And I lost another pound. Yey. That makes total 5 st 1,5 pounds off in 6 months. Just unbelievable. Plus my group is so sweet and for some reason they were thinking that I would be good women of the year candidate. :)

As it would not be enough my lovely consultant give me a dress. Someone give this dress to her as it was to big. And she passed it to me. And its so nice. Honest.
